Abstract
A delivery device for advancing a probe through a vascular access catheter includes a housing having a distal end and a proximal end, with the distal end configured to couple to an intravenous catheter device, a spool disposed within the housing, a tube-shaped probe wound around the spool, and an advancement wheel. At least a portion of the advancement wheel extends from the housing. In response to the advancement wheel being rotated, the spool rotates to cause the tube-shaped probe to advance and retract relative to the housing.
